Ooh, I get to pester people!
Stolen (& reworded) from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greta_k... and I'm evil! I'm actually tagging people!
When tagged, please write an entry with six random facts about yourself. Then tag six others, if you so desire.
1. I have been to every state in the union except for Florida and Alaska (well, and there's some uncertainty about North Dakota, also) and have driven my current car (purchaced new in fall of 2002) through 30 of them (all by myself.)
2. I prefer skirts that are wide enough to ride a horse in. (The test is if you can lift the hem on one side of the skirt above your head and still maintain decency)
3. I taught myself to knit by making a pair of socks (a project that most beginning knitters are afraid of.)
4. I once played Mr Body in a game of Clue (by selecting cards to put in the envelope) and on the third round made it suicide. While knitting the above-memtioned socks, as it happens...
5. While I don't drink coffee, I keep searching for a beverage that is sort of like latte or hot chocolate, only vanilla and possibly hazelnut flavored. (Actually, Starbucks has something kind of like this, but it's got a rather thin & watery taste to it, as if they'd put sugar & vanilla into half skim milk and half water or something odd like that... so far the closest I've managed is half a packet of hot chocolate mix with about 3 parts water to 1 part heavy whipping cream)
6. I was once stopped in the street by a complete stranger and asked, "Is there such a place as Transylvania?" (to which I said, "um, yes..." and he turned to his friend and exclaimed, "I told you so!")
Tagging:grauwulf, heuchera, hydecat, skittblink, vdriscoll, wink_ihsan... and anybody else who wants it, of course.

1) I was a boy scout, and not just any boy scout, I was "that" kid. you know the "Super Scout" goody two shoes. Obviously it didn't stick. :)
2) I'd rather be scuba diving than hanging out with other people. I love the solotude and weightlessness. It's a very strange but comforting feeling.
3) I've ridden Shamu. I think it was for my 6th birthday, my Grandparents took me to SeaWorld in Ohio (which has since closed) and they somehow talked the trainers into it.
4) I'm a horrible pack ratt. I am getting better but I somehow mannage to save everything.
5) For as long as I can remember whenever I stand next to a ledge with a significant drop off; balcanies, roofs, cliffs, ect, I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to jump off. Which is when I started rappelling :) constructive use of a twisted mind I'd say :)
6) I have litterally walked 14 miles to school, up hill both ways, in the rain.
How is that for random? there will be no tagging today. not feeling THAT evil ;)
ciao

When I was a kid we used to go to symphonic orchestra concerts at the kennedy center and sit in the top balcony (maybe 60 feet above the main floor) and I remember sitting there imagining leaping across to the chandeliers or being able to fall in a wide arc all the way down to the foot of the stage. I think the reason I've never actually been tempted to try doing something like that though, is that I know I'd be horribly disappointed when I didn't drift down like a dandylion seed...
